Transport policy is an increasingly difficult area for all national
governments and regional/local authorities. Tackling car use and
realising a sustainable transport system appears to be very
difficult. Developing public transport is seen as an increasingly
important element in improving the transport system, especially in
densely populated areas. At the same time however, governments are
under increasing pressure to cut taxation. As a result there is a
growing gap between increasing policy need for public transport and
government resources to fund that need. This timely book explores
one solution to this dilemma, which is the use of local charges and
taxes dedicated to support public transport. Unfare Solutions
examines how and why such charges have evolved and how they do (or
do not) relate to modern transport policy developments and theory.
It shows innovative funding techniques developed by both public
transport providers and federal and local authorities.

Gamesmanship as a civilised art is as old as the competitive spirit
in man. It is polite psychological warfare. It is the moral
equivalent of assault and battery. It is, as the subject of this
book points out, The Art of Winning Games Without Actually
Cheating. Anyone who has ever played any games for keeps has
discovered the Gamesman either in himself or in an opponent. In its
simplest terms the poker player's bluff is a device of
gamesmanship. While winning games without actually cheating may
seem to some scrupulous sportmen to be treading the fair-play
borderline, the author points out 'The true Gamesman is always the
Good Sportsman.' If you find your game is slipping, whatever it
might be-golf, tennis, bridge, poker, chess, craps or croquet-this
is the book for you. Apply the power of the 'ploy' or, as we would
say, the 'Indian sign.' After reading Gamesmanship you, too, can
win without actually cheating
